I have this on my AR and it's awesome. I also have an EOTech 518.A65 and was going to buy the laser battery cap for the EOTech, but decided to get a separate/independent laser instead. By having a separate unit, if my batteries go bad in one unit, maybe the other unit has good batteries so I still have one electronic site, plus the iron sites (which are almost worthless in dark light conditions!) If you use the basic "PLUS-ONE" idea of self defense, the idea of having a laser which uses a separate set of batteries makes a lot of sense. So far I'm very happy with this unit. Adjusting the laser was very easy and the high power green laser is highly visible even in the daylight.

I cannot say enough good things about the TLR-2G. I owned a red-laser TLR-2 for 6 years, attached to my home-defense Springfield .45, and I loved it. The TLR-2G is even better. The green laser of the TLR-2G is immeasurably brighter and easier to lock onto than the original TLR-2, especially when the light is engaged simultaneously, and it cuts through the air with a small, precise dot up to at least a few hundred meters. The light is bright, blindingly so if you're on the receiving end, which I view as an added advantage in a defense situation. I haven't attempted to use or set the strobe feature, so I can't speak to it's ease of use or effectiveness, but trust me, this is a top-notch accessory. Streamlight has been the industry leader in firearms laser/light accessories for awhile now, and for good reason. The TLR-2G is durable, effective, precise, and intuitive. Definitely worth the money.

For what it is, it's mostly going to get the job done. I heard there is a better unit out there which will out do this unit, but your going to pay more for that. Honestly, Is it going to make the difference? Maybe, depends on the situation at hand. I liked it for my intended application. The strobe feature is a ball buster to get activated. I was only once able to get that to turn on. It's not something wrong with the unit, it's the way Stream light designed the unit to function. That aside, the light feature is really good and the green laser is easy to pick up in either light/laser or laser only. Adjustments are easy enough to correct for sight picture and mounting the unit was easy.
If you have a weapon for home defense you'd be VERY SMART to have one of these on the end of it. 1.) You will be able to see who you are about to shoot, kinda important at 3 a.m. 2.) You will absolutely blind them with the Blazing Bright light. 3.) The STROBE will absolutely disorient them COMPLETELY. 4. The GREEN laser dot is much more visible than the red. Your eyes are already accustomed to seeing red LED lights everywhere. There are very few green LEDs . AND Green is more visible in the daylight. 5. With the laser mounted on a rail on a .45, you no longer need to aim. When you might have a perp running around your house, shooting at you, the last thing I want to do is block my complete vision by putting a gun in my line of sight to aim. Besides, who can aim and hit a moving AND SHOOTING target in the dark anyhow. This laser eliminates all that problem COMPLETELY. Where ever that lil' green dot is, thats where your bullet will hit. You can literally shoot from the hip. And a laser dot bouncing around on someone's chest will usually end a gunfight quickly. I have one on every gun and tactical rifle I own for home use. Also great for hunting. Its a bit of an investment at first, no doubt but once you own one, you'll be hard pressed not to put one on as many guns as possible, at least your home protection weapons. They don't go down in value so they are a great choice . The red one will work but the green is better and MAKE SURE you get one with the strobe feature and the 300+ lumen output.Read full review

Love this light and laser. The green shows up much better than the red laser I have.
